Anthocyanins are responsible for the color of grapes and wine, an important attribute of their quality. Many authors have used anthocyanins profile to classify the grape cultivars and wine authenticity. The anthocyanin profiles of grape berries of
Anthocyanins make up a group of pigments in grapes and wine, an important quality parameter that contributes an appealing color and antioxidant activity to red grapes and wine. Due to its bright color and high water solubility, this group is considered a potential natural pigment to replace artificial food colorants. On the other hand, this group also possesses potent antioxidant capacity and health promoting properties, even reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and some inflammatory diseases for people who consume wine, berries, and grapes [
The anthocyanins profile of a grape and its wine, determined by the relations of the different anthocyanins, is characteristic of each variety. An anthocyanin profile, or fingerprint, has also been used for many authors to differentiate the grape cultivars, and to identify the authenticity of red wines, especially if the grape cultivar is mentioned on bottle labels. Authors reported that the anthocyanin profiles provide enough information to develop a differentiation of classes in the studied wines or grapes [
With the development of HPLC-ESI-MS/MS and other determining techniques, more than 600 types of anthocyanins have been reported in nature. For grapes and wines, several hundreds of anthocyanins have been identified. These anthocyanins can be classified into the following groups according to their structure: non-acylated anthocyanins [common anthocyanin monoglucosides and diglucosides: monoglucosides of Cyanidin (Cy), Delphinidin (Dp), Petunidin (Pt), Peonidin (Pn), Malvidin (Mv)]; acylated anthocyanins, pyranoanthocyanins, direct flavanol-anthocyanin condensation products, acetaldehyde-mediated or other compound-mediated flavanol-anthocyanin condensation products, and polymeric anthocyanins [
Methanol was purchased from the Bei Jing Chemical Industry (China). Acetonitrile (HPLC grade), and formic acid (96%) was purchased from Fisher Scientific (Fairlawn, NJ, USA). Malvidin-3-glucoside chloride was purchased from Extrasynthese SA (Genay, France).
Grape berries of seven cultivars: SF (Shuang Feng, intraspecific hybrid of
Wine samples were performed with a small glass container (10 L). The berries of seven cultivars for wine making were picked up at harvest. To each must, 50 mg/L SO2 was added before alcohol fermentation; then the activated yeast was added. After the fermentation was performed for four days, the pomace was separated from must and the last-fermentation was carried out. The wine samples were analyzed by HPLC-ESI-MS/MS with direct injection after filtration.
The extraction of anthocyanins was performed according to Liang
An Agilent 1200 series LC-MSD, equipped with a UV detector and reversed phase column (Kromasil C18 250 × 4.65 μm), was used. The solvents were (A) aqueous 2% formic acid, and (B) acetonitrile containing 2% formic acid. The gradient was from 6% to 10% B for 4 min, from 10% to 25% B for 8 min, isocratic 25% B for 1 min, from 25% to 40% for 7 min, from 40% to 60% for 15 min, from 60% to 100% for 5 min, from 100% to 6% for 5 min, at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Injection volumes were 30 μL, and the detection wavelength was 525 nm. Mass spectroscopy (MS) conditions were as follows: Electrospray ionization (ESI) interface, positive ion model, 35 psi nebulizer pressure, 10 L/min dry gas flow rate, 350 °C dry gas temperature, and scans at
All individual anthocyanins were quantified and expressed as malvidin-3-glucoside content from the chromatographic results. If any of these anthocyanins remained undetected in a sample, they were represented by zero in the data matrix for principal component analysis (PCA). PCA was performed with the statistical software SPSS 15.0 (USA).

In this experiment, 17 anthocyanins were identified from skins and wines of seven grape cultivars, including 11 anthocyanin monoglucosides (five pyranoanthocyanin monoglucosides and one acylated pyranoanthocyanin monoglucoside) and six anthocyanin diglucosides. 15 anthocyanins were identified from their wines, including nine anthocyanin monoglucosides (four pyranoanthocyanin monoglucosides) and six anthocyanin diglucosides. 14 were identified anthocyanins from their skins, including eight anthocyanin monoglucosides (two pyranoanthocyanin monoglucosides and one acylated pyranoanthocyanin monoglucoside) and six anthocyanin diglucosides.
